I recently met a woman who revealed to me that even though her Facebook profile shows her as being in a relationship she really isn't and has been single for some time now. She takes even it further - the man she is in a "relationship with" actually plays for the other team but they are really good friends and needed someone permanent to be her + one when she goes to functions.
At first I really did not get it at all. But now as the holiday season approaches and the apprehension of those prying eyes as you arrive at a function by yourself and everyone else is with their significant other. I dread the questions from family - the aunt who gently says "Sweetheart come and sit by me and tell all that you have been up to since the last time I saw you!" or "What ever did happen with that bloke you were with two years ago?" Questions and prying go on and on.
Every question while asked with nothing but the best of intentions it is generally received with untold apprehension and dread. It's not that I want to be single, no but I have however embraced that this is where I am right now. It's just simply that I cannot seem to meet the right "guy" - that perfect one whose bad habits I can learn to live with just as learns to live mine!
